"Brilliant! Nicole's knowledge of anatomy and physiology is unmatched by any yoga instructor I have worked with. She fully explains the range of benefits her students can expect from each posture. Nicole is very hands-on. Each student receives individual attention and adjustments as needed throughout the duration of the class. During her class, Nicole's attention is solely on the participants and their individual needs. Outside of class, Nicole continues to assist and share her knowledge and expertise. I couldn't ask for more from a yoga instructor."

"Never thought I would have such a relaxing and wonderful experience using sandbags in a yoga class! Nicole makes it fun while showing how you can transform your poses with ease while placing sandbags on the body. Nice restorative class with a different twist. Really enjoy this class."

"Yoga has been a daily part of my life for about 23 years and Nicole has been a part of my ongoing yoga journey for the past 7 years. I have learned to arrive into the flow of each class with the knowledge that I will receive loving care and clear instruction with the added help of props (such as sand bags, straps, blankets, and bolsters), laughter, and gentle hands on guidance. Nicole always explains the benefits of each pose while offering a variety of ways to complete each task to fit all participants and their body needs. Whether we are working on restorative poses, bone building poses,or stress relief poses, I know that I will leave feeling regenerated and/or relaxed and ready to meet the demands of the outside world and for that I am truly grateful!"

"I want this letter to go on record as one who feels Nicole's methods of training and yoga practice are and have been essential to my health and well being. In Fact I cannot imagine any individual who has not benefited (greatly) from her instruction and unwavering support/healing methods thru yoga practice."

"I've practiced yoga of all kinds for over 30 years in Boulder and Bend, and I've participated in the classes of 4 other yoga teachers at ACB. I like one very much, and respect the other three, but none brings the WHY we are doing what we are doing with the thoroughness, clarity and humor Nicole brings. Her quirky, relaxed, non-patronizing manner puts students at ease. Her sessions provide full body work without haste or discomfort. Without "yoga babble" she encourages practice of yoga principles such as use of the breath, being in the moment, etc. She relates each position not only to muscles but to organs and body systems that are affected, enhancing our understanding of the value of each thing we do. Her style is unique and very effective..."
